Polygenic risk score (PRS) methods are evolving, and the benefit of adding functional annotations to the variant weights has been especially promising. However, less attention has been given to how the linkage disequilibrium (LD) reference panel used affects the score performance. In the current study, we compared two Bayesian approaches, one that incorporates functional annotations (LDpred-funct) and one that...
